Pros

Paid paid vacation, ability to work from home, starting PTO.

Cons

Be open is meant to be one of their values, but it's just a big joke! If you say anything other than 'this company is the best' you are shunned as being negative and before long will be shown the door. The employees are worse than junior high school students with their cliques and if you're not a super-religious Mormon, you will never fit in. The culture they tout is not one of business, but one of Progressive/Liberal Mormonism. Managers lie and employees have no recourse, you're just brought in and fired as not being a 'culture fit' without any warning. Assume the best is another value, but it only applies to some and not all. Once you get labeled as negative, it doesn't matter what you do or how you perform they will not assume the best about you.

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
